  "textContent": "Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max in just three colors – Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue – but notably there's no black option. Last year was the first time Apple's high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option in any way, but those hoping for the return of black this year for the iPhone 18 Pro should look away now.\n\n\n\n_Image credit: Instant Digital_\n\n\nAccording to Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital, Apple won't be offering its next-generation premium models in a black color option. _Bloomberg_ 's Mark Gurman has suggested that Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models, alongside a couple of more traditional color options. But black doesn't appear to be one of them.\n\nIt was previously rumored that Apple was also considering purple and brown finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro models, but Gurman has said he believes those color options are \"just variants of the same red idea.\"\n\nThere's better news for anyone planning to buy Apple's rumored foldable iPhone in a more traditional finish. Gurman said Apple plans to \"stay away from fun colors\" and stick to more conservative space gray/black and silver/white colors.\n\nInstant Digital has a good track record for Apple rumors and has provided some strikingly accurate information ahead of time, such as the imminent launch of 2023's Yellow iPhone 14, as well as the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.\n\nThe iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to launch in September, with the foldable iPhone potentially arriving later in the year.\n\nRelated Roundup: iPhone 18 Pro\n\nTag: Instant Digital\n\n\nThis article, \"iPhone 18 Pro Reportedly Won't Come in Black\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
